You’re Under Arrest For Playing The Wrong Compression Golf Ball

I didn’t want to be the one to tell you this but the cops are after you.

Do you have any idea how fast you were driving back there coming off the 13th tee?

No, not the speed of your golf cart—we’re talking about your clubhead speed.

Unfortunately, the golf ball you are playing doesn’t jibe with your swing speed. You are only swinging your driver at 92 mph but the compression of your golf ball is best suited for swing speeds above 105 mph.

We’ll let you off with a warning this time—and a new sleeve of balls better suited for your game—but next time you might not be so lucky.

TGL’s Final Grade: Additive At Best, Cringey At Worst

The inaugural TGL season came to a close last night with the Atlanta Drive defeating New York Golf Club, two games to none, to win the first championship.

We’ve been talking a lot about the new tech-infused simulator league around the MyGolfSpy office over the past few months. Some of us watched a few minutes and never went back. Some of us have been mildly entertained by it (or at least put the broadcast on as background noise). Some of us attended an event and enjoyed the experience.

All of us have been critical of the inferior technology they are using to make this whole league run.

But now that we are at the end of the first season, it’s time to take real stock of how the league performed. Where is thing headed?

My final grade for TGL is a B-minus. While the league is a net positive for professional golf, it feels like it has a high floor with a low ceiling.

3 Golf Shoes Worth Your Money (And 2 To Skip)

Sometimes, knowing what not to buy is just as important as knowing what to buy. In our golf shoe testing this year, we evaluated nearly 50 different pairs. While we found plenty of shoes worth recommending, there are always a few that aren’t worth your money. Here’s a quick look at three shoes we think are worth your money and two that you might want to skip. Just a heads up: these aren’t necessarily the absolute best or worst from our tests but they’re insights we noticed during the testing process.

Skechers Go Golf Prestige SL (Spikeless)

The Skechers golf shoes did well in our 2025 testing. This Go Golf Prestige SL is a comfortable spikeless shoe with a more traditional look. There was a time when golf shoes with a traditional look screamed blisters and pain. That’s no longer the case.

The podiatrist-certified Arch Fit® insole and ECO FLIGHT cushioning prove Skechers spent some time developing this one. The Prestige SL didn’t win any traction or stability categories but earned a top five in both categories. This is the third-best spikeless shoe of 2025.

Who Should Buy:
Golfers place comfort and convenience at the top of their list (slip-in shoes).

Who Should Skip:
Golfers requiring maximum torsional stability other shoes offer better solutions for high swing speeds.

Best PING Drivers

We tested 37 drivers for 2025 and four of them are PINGs. We tested the PING G430 MAX 10K because it was the best driver of 2024 and it earned second place in 2025. The G440 LST, a new release, grabbed third. If you are in the market for a new PING driver, we will review all the results of the 2025 Best Driver testing and look at some lower-priced PING drivers that are still available with limited shaft options. Here is everything you need to know about the best PING drivers.

Best PING driver of 2025: PING G430 MAX 10K

We give the best driver of the previous season a chance to compete in our most recent driver testing. The PING G430 MAX 10K was the best for 2024 and earned second best in 2025. It was the only driver in the 2025 test to score higher than 9.0 in distance, accuracy and forgiveness.

It’s about as well-rounded as you’ll find.

Testers noted that it’s tough to hit a truly “bad” drive with the PING G430 MAX 10K. PING did keep this one in the lineup for 2025 so it’s not hard to find one that meets your specifications.
